Map of Portland (Oregon)/Southwest
Understand
Downtown Portland is the heart of the city, centered around Pioneer Square and home to modern commercial towers, new condominiums, and converted lofts, along with several museums and urban parks of interest to tourists, including Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the river. To the immediate south of Downtown is the campus of Portland State University and South Waterfront, an urban revitalization area at the southern end of the streetcar line with newly built glass residential towers.
Get in and around
Coming by train or bus to Portland, you'll likely end up at the Union Station or Greyhound terminal in northwestern Portland, a few blocks north of the border to southwest Portland (as defined in this travel guide). From Vancouver (Washington) there are commuter buses going to Downtown Portland in the morning and back in the afternoon, at other times you have to change in Eastside.
See Portland (Oregon)#Get around for getting in from elsewhere in the city.
Downtown is just south of Chinatown, Old town and the Pearl District, and except for the Marquam Bridge (where the I-5 crosses), bridges across Willamette River have sidewalks so you can walk in from nearby parts of Eastside. Streetcars provide access from the southern parts of the northwest and Central Eastside.
All MAX lines come in from different parts the Eastside: the orange line from the southern Eastside near the Willamette River, yellow line from the Expo center, red line from the airport, blue line from Gresham, green line from Clackamas Town Center, the three latter from locations along Banfield Freeway, and all except the orange line go through locations in the southern part of the northwest.
The blue and red lines take you to Washington Park, and the orange line to locations south of downtown. Locations further southwest can be reached by bus (network map).

Parks and gardens
- 6 Mill Ends Park, SW Naito Pkwy & SW Taylor. The "smallest park in the world", a title backed up by the Guinness Book of Records, Mill Ends was created satirically for the purpose of being "a leprechaun colony and racetrack for snails."

- 7 Pioneer Courthouse Square, SW Broadway and Yamhill, ☏ +1 503-223-1613. This is the central courtyard of downtown Portland, a big gathering spot that's popular with tourists and locals alike. Notable features of the park are a cascading waterfall fountain, chess boards, and the Weather Machine, a machine that predicts the weather every day at noon. Many other sculptures and art elements surround the square, including Kvinneakt, the bronze statue of a nude woman that's otherwise known as the "Expose Yourself to Art" statue after a popular poster featuring a flasher (former Mayor Bud Clark) facing this work. An annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony takes place here the Friday evening after Thanksgiving to ring in the holiday day season and get everyone attending into the holiday cheer. Free.
- 8 Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Naito Pkwy (Between the Steel and Marquam bridges). 5AM-midnight. This wide expanse of green lawns along the downtown Portland waterfront is a scenic slice of park land, with views over the Willamette River and of the skyline. At one point, this narrow stretch of land was a four-lane freeway, but growing environmental awareness led to the city replacing the freeway with this park. Along the waterfront there are a number of fountains, memorials, and gardens, including the Salmon Street Springs, a large fountain at the Salmon Street entrance that's popular with kids during the summer; the Battleship Oregon Memorial, the old mast of the USS Oregon battleship between Oak and Pine Streets; and the Japanese American Memorial Garden at the north end of the park has monuments telling the story of people of Japanese descent in the US, including the WWII internment camps. The park is also home to many festivals throughout the year, including a Cinco de Mayo celebration, the Waterfront Blues Fest, and the carnival-like Rose Festival. Free.

Sports

Portland's Major League Soccer team, the Timbers, play at Providence Park (formerly PGE Park and JELD-WEN Field) and are known for their strong local support. Games against the Seattle Sounders are especially heated, though fan conflict is almost always verbal. Getting tickets can be tricky, as the stadium is rather small—even after an expansion project completed during the 2019 MLS season, it still holds only a bit more than 25,000.
- 4 Portland Thorns FC, Providence Park, 1844 SW Morrison, ☏ +1 503-553-5400. Portland's newest top-level professional team, the Thorns (which are owned and operated by the Timbers) are charter members of the National Women's Soccer League, which began play in April 2013. The NWSL season runs from April to late September, with playoffs in October. While not quite as popular as the Timbers, they routinely draw well over 10,000 and occasionally sell out; before the 2022 arrival of the Southern California teams Angel City FC (Los Angeles) and San Diego Wave FC in the NWSL, the Thorns were the biggest crowd draw in American women's sports.

Football and basketball are typically the highest-profile sports. The main indoor venue is 5 Viking Pavilion, home to both basketball teams and women's volleyball. However, the football team doesn't play on campus, instead using Hillsboro Stadium in the suburb of that name. Ticket prices vary by event.
Music
- 6 Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St, ☏ +1 503-225-0047. Crystal Ballroom often referred to as "The Crystal" is one of the nicest venues in town. The Ballroom is great size and has great art and period light fixtures. This is a clean, well maintained venue. The Crystal has a bar inside with upstairs balcony seating for 21+. The main floor is standing room only which makes the show much more intense. The floor gives under the weight of the crowd and can "bounce" if the crowd decides to jump in unison (to bring on an encore, for example). According to the Crystal's website, at the time of its construction, the Crystal's mechanical dance floor (now fully restored to proper working order) was said to be unique on the Pacific Coast. Today, it may be the only one left in the United States.
